Gordon Street Garage, 6005

The staff are well-trained, and versed in the kitchens offerings. And what wonderful offerings they are...For lunch I enjoyed their elaborate take on the Greek salad; with caramelised onions, heirloom tomatoes, avocado and a variety of feta cheese I'd like to buy a barrel of. The glossy brioche bun Salmon burger, will be my order next time. The menu is quintessential stylish Mod-Oz food. Does it get more Australiana than a Kangaroo meat sausage roll? (with green olive tepenade, I'll add)

The amped up Greek salad, on for lunch

Kangaroo sausage roll

After lunch we oogled the impressive and tempting French patisserie handiworks. Good luck choosing from creations like Passionfruit and white chocolate mousse cakes, pistachio macarons and mango cheesecake. We were informed there is a pastry *team* slaving away each morning in the kitchen. Bread is all baked on site as well.

Fit for a Parisienne patisserie!

More to love - brilliant coffee work and an on-site roaster is not far from launching.

GSG gets my nod. An ideal place for group social gatherings, or to bring out of towners who want a taste of the Perth lifestyle.
